In" important Part Assigned to Him In
ancient and Moro Modern Times.
The game cock was an honorcd bird
i'll ancient times, and is to-day by q
large class of men who love and nd
mir" him for his beautiful plrmago and
lhdomltablc pluck. In Greece and
'oEr!a he was once an emblem of divin-
lty; in the mythology of the ancients
he was the symbol of vigilance, and
no doubt he was used as time indi-
Gator for the night scntincls in the
Roman army.
Ihc p@tphian oracle to Taru,lin.
when he enlisted in his cause Porscnno.
King OF E'ruria, to recover his throne,
was to beware of the Roman youth,
ior they had become addicted to cock
lt%htlnG. PompOniuS Mcla, the histo.
riau, asserts that the Roman Empcror
dld not begin to decline until cock
lighting had fallen into disrcpute
among its Governors. The soothsay-
CrS warned Mark Antony to take heed
of Caesar because his cocks were nj
ways beaten by him. Scvcrus was not
able to conquer Britain until he had
rendered his principal officers passion
at"ly fond and cmulous of glory by
exhibiting main Of cocks every dav
before them. Alexander Scvcrus, the
cousin Of Heliogabalus, suppressed n
revolt among a portion Of his army at
Antioch, by fighting some cocks in
their presence.
The fact Of ThCmistoclcs command,
ing two game cocks to be fought in the
open view of his dismaycd army when

exercised over the mind by the exhibit
ton Of courage displayed by these gal
liant birds. General jackson, of our
own favored country, during his cam

South, had his favorite games always
with him. At night, and within sight

Tho Story of Il Policy.

The Valley Mutual Life Association OF
Virginia is tho largest and the leading
Lilo Association in the South. Over
one million of dollars has been paid in
cash to tho families of deceased mem
berg..
The cheapness of its plan is demon
strated by tho experience of those who
are insured. In illustration Of this fact,
we take Policy No. 3, held by Mr.. w. p.

quently it has shared every cost that has
come against the Company. The entire
cost to MIR. Tams in eight years and six
months, Membership Fee, Annuals, and
Mortality payments, has been but $40. Al,
or an average annual cost of $8. %. At
the date of this insurance MIR. Tams WAS
27 years Of age.

He Refused to Fire,

DUBLIN, October 5.-Eyictions were
continued at Gweedore to day. When
the police, followed by an immense
crowd, came to the house of the Widow
Bowles, they found it strongly barricad-
ed, and the inmates prepared. to make
stout resistance.
s Boiling water was dashed upon the
bailitls and they were several times COM
PEELED to retire. They finally gained
accessto the roof and demolished the
chimney, tumbling the debris down into
the fire. The burning Goals were scat
tered on the floor and the inmates were
compelled to surrender. Seven persons
were taken from the house and placed
under arrest.
The hostile domeanor of tho crowd
alarmed the commander of the police
and he ordered his men to prepare to
fire, whereupon Constable HangGey de-
cllned to obey the order, advanced q
few PAGES from the ranks and threw
down his rifle. He will probably be ar
rested for refusing to 10 his duty.

Take Care of Your Health.

The season of coughs and colds is upon us,
aud great care is requisite to protect the sys.
tenn against The sudden changes of tempera-
Jure for which our climate is so remarkable.
The philosophy OF taking colds is but little
understood. A cold may be produced by
any cause which gives check to the natural
perspiratiou of the body. For instance by
taking large quantity of cold water when
debilitated BY fatigue, or excess of heat by
currents of cool air falling on the body, when
IN very warm place and inactive by similar
currents falling upon part of the body for
some time when in warm room--as when
We sit by raised or broken window by 60
ing out of heated rooms, perhaps fatigued,
into the night air, especially without suffi-
Gent cloth ng ! by the application of cold,
Chough it should not be inordinate after we
have been -ong exposed to high tempera-
ture by sleeping too cold at night, sitting
with wet tlothes, or feet, sc.
That there is great want Of prudence in
these and many other respects, is certainly
evident to even the most casual observer.
With the approach of cold weather, or tem-
perature, you Will see almost every individ.
ual you mret-man, woman, or child afic-
Ted with cold or cough. In this way are
he seeds permanent disease sown in the
,ystem, which afterwards produces such
abundant laryests of Consumption aud death.
Few persons think a common cold worth
minding-it will, they say, wear off IN few
days-and so it is neglected, and becomes
700 frequently, the foundation of confirmed
consumption.
